La Salle scores early to defeat Bayridge

October 17, 2014

La Salle Black Knights scored the first two times they had the football Friday afternoon and they went on to defeat the Bayridge Blazers 22-1 in the only Kingston Area Secondary Schools Athletic Association senior game.

Playing at O’Connor Field at Bayridge, the Knights scored three touchdowns in the first quarter. After that the Blazers played them pretty much even, though La Salle’s defence was never seriously threatened.

The home team got inside the La Salle 25-yard line twice; one drive ended with a fumble and the other on an unsuccessful third-down attempt.

Tim Wight and Shawn Miller scored La Salle’s first two touchdowns, each on a run of about 12 yards. Quarterback Mitch Dowd connected with Jordan Price for the Knights’ other major, a 65-yard TD pass.

Including the forfeit win La Salle will receive for its game next week against the disbanded KC-QE team, the Knights are now tied with Regi at 4-1, second by half a game to Sydenham (4-0, thanks to its forfeit win over KC-QE Friday afternoon). La Salle will conclude its regular season Tuesday at Napanee.

Tuesday’s other game will see Sydenham visit Ernestown, where the Eagles are 2-2.
